Re: Because that would mean humanizing the villains in their own lives

Ah, sorry - I kind of assumed nonny = anon account.

I remember seeing something on Tumblr about how the reason why Gaston was one of the disconcerting villains, if not downright terrifying, was not because of his strength or trying to kill Beast, but because he managed to use fear-mongering to turn the town against Belle and further his own agenda, as well as his objections to women reading early on in the movie. For many people who come from that kind of environment, Gaston is an all-to-real villain in their lives.

That's probably one of the more interesting things about the recent trend in villains of children's franchises - making a villain who shares real attributes with real darkness in the world. It is somehow less and more scary at the same time.
